“The magnificent jet propels air safety to new heights, yet accidents still occur. Records show that takeoff and landing remain the critical phases of flight. One long-range solution is increased automation. A Lockheed TriStar touches down ‘hands off’ at Palmdale, California; a time exposure by a remotely operated camera attached to the aircraft’s vertical tail fin blurs city and runway lights."
—From "The Air-Safety Challenge," August 1977, National Geographic magazine
